for this print i was inspired by kintsugi, the japanese art of fixing broken pottery with gold. wabi-sabi: embracing the Imperfect. In japanese philosophy there exists the idea of “wabi-sabi,” the act of embracing the flawed or the imperfect. When kintsugi is used to mend together broken pottery, the cracks are highlighted, rather than hidden, as i did in my print .. the torn pieces are mended together with gold and thus highlighted.

this print is sold unframed ! for more info please check out my gallery on DailyPaintworks

yesterday i went for a walk… took my camera along and there she was .. the model.. relaxing on a garden wall.. watching me first… being very aloof…. then just dozing off.. ignoring me completely … at least i was allowed to take a few shots.. and here are the results.. one in black and white… one slightly edited, both available in following galleries:

i got some new acrylic inks last week and been experimenting with them. not unhappy with them but they are different to the ones i have used so far – and which are almost impossible to obtain here! anyway.. so been playing around with those inks, then took a photo with my mobile phone.. which in turn led me to play around with the image in my editing program .. et voilà … Circles happened. i rather liked the outcome so .. prints, poster, cards and a variety of products are available in my various shops >>> RedBubble – Society6 – FineArtAmerica
